Foggy Headlights...What is the easiest way to bring them back to clear?

This is a real beef to me. There are tons of detailing answers for most car care problems. But I have yet to find a way to clear up foggy headlights. I don't mean moisture....Its just the plastic they use now. My wifes Honda Accord has started to fog up. Any ideas?Foggy Headlights...What is the easiest way to bring them back to clear?
They have kits now that polish the plastic. I've done them in the shop on a Subaru where they were absolutely dull and yellowed. They looked like almost new by then. Get some Mequires plastic cleaner, and a bottle of polish. Put some elbow grease to it and you'll be shocked by the improvement.

Solution (other than replacing)





If it's mainly on the outside of the lens:


Use some grease lighting or mean green to remove dirt and yellowish film. Don't let it sit onto headlight lens dry. Use water to rinse. After drying, use a chrome polish (yes chrome polish) in a paste like ';Mothers.'; Repeat with polish maybe two to three times depending on how discolored they are.





If it's on the inside you would have to remove the lens and us some bleach to pour inside the headlight to brighten it up.
if they are fogged up. just buy a new set and install them


because they have a crack somewhere letting moisture inside of them.
Pep boys, Auto Zone, Wal Mart and others all have defog kits to clear up those headlamps.
here you go man, it happens to Grand Ams pretty bad too. good luck
